Reef Palms

My partner, son and myself are staying in a family room and appreciate the space and comfort. Comfy beds, little kitchen and small balcony. For a three star it is well structured, and is close to the city and 1 street away from the beach. Well done on the room service. Mangers are very lovey and have had a very home welcoming service with them. If you’re looking for an excellent 3 Star motel this is the one to go to.

Excellent stay on our way to Cape York (CY) and on our return journey too ! We stayed one night on our way to CY and 2 nights on return. Clean, spacious and comfy rooms ensuite toilet and showers with cooking facilities utensils, crockery and cutlery, clean bed linen. Easy access to beach, City center and Rusty market. Extremely welcoming and helpful host couple made our stay even better 👍

As an older couple waiting to see the Reef for half a life-time we were so happy to have found this location. It was relaxed to the point of being home-like yet had all the facilities and charm of a tropical Resort, including a luxurious spa. The staff helped us to the point of going beyond in a time we needed great service and in doing so made our experience one to remember. This is a jewel hidden in Cairns. one of friendly staff. affordable luxury with a relaxed atmosphere, all just a few minutes walk from the sandy banks of Cairns' beach strip. Thanks so much to the management nd if ever we come back we will stay again.

We recently stayed at the Reef Palm Motel for a quick weekend getaway, and we were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The location is fantastic — it’s just a short walk to the shops, so you’re right near the action, but far enough away from the noise to enjoy a peaceful stay.||The room was simple but clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed: a comfy bed, a small fridge, and a microwave, which was perfect for heating up snacks or leftovers. The bathroom was functional, and although it wasn’t anything fancy, it was well-maintained.||One of the highlights of our stay was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering tips on local attractions and even arranging a shuttle to the Great Barrier Reef. The motel also has a small outdoor pool, which was nice for cooling off after a hot day in Cairns.||For the price, the motel offers great value. I’d recommend it.

Clean swimming pool and they replaced carpets and all the old kitchen utensils with new ones last June and I use this place all the time. There are nice people and the parking lot is pleasant as well. I loved to stay here every time. |Even when I stayed here for a month to give birth they were kind and nice. it's inexpensive and suitable to stay with my family and kids. And alsocomfortable I recommend this place. - Sohui .K

Needs a total redo. Everything in this place is outdated. Filthy 2nd hand scourers, dirty looking tea towels, lights not working, mouldy stains on curtains. Door locks aren't very secure. Couldn't use the couch as it was so uncomfortable. And told there is a problem with theft in the area so had to strip out anything that could be stolen from my ute. Disappointing for the money I paid for the stay.

I recently stayed at reef palms and had a very pleasant experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making check- in easy. The room was clean , well maintained, and had all the basic amenities I needed for a comfortable stay,including a cozy bed and a hot shower. The location is convenient, with a few local restaurants nearby . For the price,I would definitely recommended this place if you're looking for a non- fuss, comfortable spot to rest. I definitely consider staying here again on future trips!

We were a large group booking for a sporting tournament that they knew about for months, rooms not ready on arrival. Mould around windows, curtains covered in mould. Rooms smelt horrible. |Sparse cutlery. Floors and surfaces sticky and in need of cleaning. Some refused to stay here and found other accommodation. |Towels tired. |3 out of 4 washing machines out of service and we needed to wash uniforms daily. Rats running around the premises. One key only per room even though 3/4 per room. |Never again!!

First thing I have to mention is the service. Cairns is definitely a tourist town, and the owners know so much about the different tour companies. My mother and I were going to do a dive tour with one of the more prominently advertised companies, but after talking to Sharon about my mom's swimming limitations, we decided on a smaller tour. We couldn't have been more pleased! We had a great day with a very intimate crew, who helped my mom out, and saved money! As an American, I was weary about the "motel" label, but this place is more like a condo with a kitchen. They have everything you need. Don't expect a 4 or 5 star hotel, but when you're in Cairns, you're not spending a lot of time in your hotel room anyway. I would stay there again. TIP: Bring cash, because they charge a 2 or 3% service fee of the total if you pay with credit card.

This place is super cute. The owners run the place and were there to greet us. We got there pretty early but we were still able to check in. The rooms are like little studio apartments with little kitchens with everything you need in them, plus a living room type space in addition to the bed. There are several food places within walking distance and a small grocery store. We were very pleased with our stay.
